[Gvsig_english] gvSIG mapping libraries & Eclipse RCP, proof of concept

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello,
A little hint:  somewhere in gvSIG there is a class called "java.lang.DXF-something". I had to remove it because java.lang seems to be a forbidden package name and the resulting plugin would not start.
 
As for the license issue: strictly speaking, the only way to use a GNU/GPL plugin in an Eclipse RCP application is by creating a "license exception", which is not always possible. A clarifying article here:
 
http://mmilinkov.wordpress.com/2010/04/06/epl-gpl-commentary/
 
There are some Eclipse RCP applications and Eclipse plugins licensed under GNU/GPL. In those cases, I presume one of the following two things are happening:
 
- they have applied the "license exception"
 
- they are not distributing code or libraries from the Eclipse project in their packages/installers, so they let the final user be the one who "infringes" the GNU/GPL license by merging EPL and GPL software in the final application.
 
 
 
Regards,
Juan Lucas Domínguez Rubio

Hi Juan, 

thank you for your additional work on this problem. I am very interested in your results. Unfortunately the redirecting link does not work at my workspace. Could you send me the real link, please?

A little blog post about this:

By the way, the Eclipse website talks about sample applications licensed under GNU/GPL, so no worries about that.
